We’re gearing up for the 5th Annual 3-on-3 Pond Hockey Tournament • Iron Creek Classic on January 24, 2026 at Iron Creek Lake! This tournament has become a winter favorite and continues to grow right alongside our Chinook youth hockey program. As a 501(c)(3), this event is a huge fundraiser that helps us keep kids on the ice and moving toward a future permanent rink in the Northern Black Hills.
Our 2026 sponsorship opportunities are officially open. We’re grateful for your support of our skaters and our Northern Hills community. Connect with us at hockeyboard@chinookhockey.com for more information.
Season Started off for our Squirts in Rapid City at the Thunder in the Hills Tournament
Our Chinook Squirt team took 2nd place this weekend at the Rushmore Thunder in the Hills tournament, and we could not be more proud!
Our Chinook Squirt team took 2nd place this weekend at the Rushmore Thunder in the Hills tournament, and we could not be more proud!
We played up a division, had only two lines of skaters while facing teams with much deeper benches, and battled through a set of back-to-back games yesterday to make it to the big one this morning. They pushed all the way to the end and finished the championship game with a hard-fought 9–11 score.
This is a perfect example of why we work so hard to bring hockey to the Northern Hills. Every mile, every late night, every practice, every piece of progress at Hillsview is for moments like this.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us, shared our mission, donated, volunteered, and believed in what youth hockey can become here. We would not be able to give our players these opportunities without you, and we are so grateful.
And a huge thank you to board member and supporter Gregg Fullerton for capturing these incredible photos of our team! (Families, check out

A Monumental Day for Northern Hills Chinook Hockey!
A Monumental Day for Northern Hills Chinook Hockey!
What a weekend for our program! Our PeeWee Travel Team is gearing up for their Inaugural Hockey Game, and this proud crew is ready to hit the ice. This is such a huge milestone for our young program and a moment we’ve all been working toward for years.
Last night, our Squirts took to the ice in Rapid City against a tough team from Colorado Springs… and they WON! Way to set the tone, kiddos!
Today, our PeeWees are excited and hungry to lace up and take on the Mitchell Marlins.
Good luck, boys and girls — play hard, have fun, and show them what Northern Hills Chinook is all about!
Grateful for our Giving Community Support
